Hi, John,

I do my development work on a Mac, not on Windows,

Ya outta get out more Jerry. There is a whole world out there! :-P

Woo hoo, a platform beatup on WebObjects!

:-)

Whoo boy, leave the lists for a day for meetings and I suffer the slings and arrows of pure envy for my unsullied Mac existence on my return.


Actually, for a couple years (in the last millenium), I was forced to use NT for ALL my WO development work. I've tried very hard to forget the experience and am still recovering. (The sucker crashed about 4-6 times per day!)

so I'm guessing here, but try going to your Terminal app and typing in:

   which gnumake

No, Jerry. Windows is not UNIX. It's really, really not UNIX. Trust me on this.

Now that sounds like a great feature of Windows, except not implies < or > (get your boolean parsers on that one) and alas Windows is ....

Crap. I think that is the technical word for it.

I'm still trying to parse those last three sentences, but it feels like Ian rode in to my defense and Chuck admitted to the reasons for my parochialism. So, thanks, guys!


  * setting up a link in /bin to its current location.


What? No C:?

Physical device mapping... how 1960s. No wait the B5000 was out in 1964, how 1950s! (The B5000 had a virtual memory P- (or presence) bit in segment descriptors, like WO faults! And its OS was not written in C.)


The history... The history... (thinking of Apocalypse Now).

Oooh. Ian, you're bringing back fond memories. I only wish I'd spent more time with the B5000 series and less time with the Burroughs' sales staff. :-)


Back then, I was trying as hard to avoid the S360 as I am trying to avoid Windows today. The upside was that it got me Unix religion very early on (1977). The down side was constantly being aware of how really hard it is spending one's professional life in an industry dominated by clueless monopolists.

ROFL

Heh, now he laughs! Now that we've weaned him from that Windows blankey he used to clutch! :-)


Regards,
Jerry
